And this WILL eventually impact skydiving related activities. I could see jump planes being required to file flight plans one day and non-towered runways having mandatory no-activity times. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Has anyone had a chance to read this book yet? Has anyone that is pro GW got a spin against it other than the author's last name? www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060746874/qid=1091557143/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-9314977-8256034?v=glance&s=books _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Well if you plan to be in Rantoul...you'll have the opportunity to do just that!

They were selling some at the gas station just off of I57. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Th AC didn't work, the non smoking room smelled like it held a smoking convention in it, one of the windows didn't open, and the "free TV" was nothing but static. We asked them twice a day to fix any of it and they said they would, but never did. I had to go get a fan and a bunch of candles to make the room livable. "Fancrapper" is what we kindly refered to it as. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Miscommunication online? In a medium that lacks tone? Nahhh...that could never happen. I would say a good portion of the fights on here happen due to this. In fact, most arguments online probably have this issue. You should include a "tone disclaimer" _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Not sure I understand your question. It wasn't my first night jump nor was it my first wingsuit jump. But it was my first wingsuit jump at night and no I don't remember the moon being blue. But I did buy beer, so there's no point in saying "beer" as that opportunity has come and gone. Sat night was a Blue Moon (2nd full moon in one month) which isn't all that common. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Was that your first Blue Moon night jump? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I believe Fireworks are Friday night.

Then again, somebody could tell you those answers so you could see the picture....but then again, there is no good reason for such things _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

The Bad news: worst deficit in American history. The good news spin: It was predicted to be worse! White House Projects Record $445B Deficit By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The White House projected Friday that this year's deficit will hit a record $445 billion, further fueling a campaign-season dispute over President Bush's handling of the economy. The figure easily surpassed last year's $375 billion, making it the largest-ever in dollar terms. That gave ammunition to Democrats who say Bush's tax cuts and failure to prevent a loss of jobs during his term has worsened the outlook for the budget and the economy. But in a political plus for Republicans, the new projection was also an improvement over forecasters' expectations of earlier this year. In February, the administration projected a $521 billion shortfall for 2004, while the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated a month earlier that the deficit would be $477 billion. The White House was attributing the improvement to the collection of $82 billion more in revenue than had been anticipated, which generally reflects more vigorous economic activity. That was partly offset by $6 billion more in spending than was expected, mostly for Medicaid and Medicare. "We are meeting our national priorities and by showing spending restraint elsewhere in the budget we are on track to meet the president's commitment to cutting deficits in half" over the next five years, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters aboard Air Force One as Bush flew to campaign stops in the Midwest. Democrats argue the report underscores the decline of the government's fiscal health under Bush, who has seen three straight years of worsening annual shortfalls following four consecutive surpluses under President Clinton . "Anyway you slice it, a deficit exceeding $400 billion this year alone is bad news for the country," said Thomas Kahn, Democratic staff director for the House Budget Committee. "Republicans' failed budget policies have converted record surpluses into the biggest deficits in American history." The White House was also boosting its estimate of Medicare spending by $67 billion over the next five years. Administration officials attributed the increase to added expenditures under last year's bill expanding Medicare coverage and to changes in long-range technical estimates about the program. Medicare, the government's health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, spends about $300 billion a year. Extra Medicare spending could further heighten concerns about the program's solvency, already in jeopardy over the next two decades with the impending retirement of the huge baby-boom generation. Medicare's anticipated rapid growth in coming years is expected to be a major engine keeping the budget in the red. The federal budget year runs through Sept. 30. That means the final deficit figure will be available shortly before the Nov. 2 election, further shining a spotlight on the issue. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

No pic attached. Why am I not grasping this concept? The sides are veritcal and the floor is horizontal? How is that different than an otter? So, the outside floaters are lower than the remainder of the chunk inside the door? How will this affect trying to launch a piece? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

One thing to add to that Winsor - for those that come from smaller DZs, the visuals will be different. Rantoul is a huge airbase, and the runways are bigger than at most dropzones. Everything will look different from all alitutudes, be mindful of where you are at. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
